The EOS 400D, called Digital Rebel XTi in North America and EOS Kiss Digital X in Japan,[2] is a consumer digital single-lens reflex camera introduced by Canon on August 24, 2006.[3] It is the successor of the popular Canon EOS 350D, upgrading to a 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, a larger continuous shooting buffer, an integrated image sensor vibrating cleaning system, a more precise 9-point AF system from the EOS 30D, improved grip, and a bigger 2.5-inch LCD screen with 230,000 pixels and a larger viewing angle which replaces the top status screen. The 400D uses the DIGIC II image processor, as used in the 350D.
It retails at US$800 MSRP, or $900 with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens, thus competing with other sub-$1000 10 megapixel DSLRs like the Sony α 100 or the Nikon D80, which were also unveiled in summer 2006. Canon will also be introducing a kit with the EF-S 17-85 f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens at a later date. Two new lenses have been launched simultaneously: the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, the fastest Canon standard lens in production; and the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens, a telephoto zoom with an image stabilizer.[4]
